For years, the Chadds Ford Historical Society had a display of old photos from the past depicting buildings as they appeared decades ago along the main streets of Baltimore Pike, Station Way and Creek Roads. One might ask: what is in those locations today? I wanted to contrast the former landscape with a modern perspective. "Chadds Ford Then and Now" is a picture book which provides both past and present views of historic sites along with a summary of their history.
Properties were chosen based on their cultural significance and the availability of an old image. As with other towns, changes were driven by nature, man and technology. Ever constant was the Brandywine Creek, providing power, serenity and hazards. Despite variations over the decades, much was preserved, including many 18th century buildings and the scenic beauty of the Brandywine Valley.
The full color book covers 43 historic sites in the Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania area which spans both Chester and Delaware Counties. Sites include the historic John Chads and Barns-Brinton Houses, both present during the American Revolution and the Battle of the Brandywine in 1777. The quaint village containing Brittingham's Blacksmith, Chadds Ford Hotel, Gallagher and Baldwin General Stores has transformed into Hank's Place, Brandywine Prime and a Sunoco station. At one time, Chadds Ford boasted two train stations, now gone except for the railroad tracks which are overgrown with weeds.
This book is a beautiful look at the past, its history and how a small town changed over the centuries. Anyone interested in colonial history and the scenic Chadds Ford area will enjoy a copy.
